The ancients watched me play the Starry Sky Railway

"Xing stroked his chin in thought. The damage to the record is too coincidental. It feels like someone tampered with the repeater."

"Okay, let's go to the monitoring room and take a look!"

"After arriving at the monitoring room, Xing used the permissions granted to him by the Black Tower to unlock the system and check the monitoring records of the space station one by one."

"Finally, Xing saw Bernard!"

"Why is it him again? Would he rather do this than destroy his own disciple's love?"

When Tang Wan saw this scene, she became even angrier.

Leslie's message was already very obvious. Even though the second half of the message was destroyed, Tang Wan could still guess what the news was.

Leslie and Rocky are obviously in love with each other, so why do you have to take the initiative to destroy their relationship?

This behavior is exactly the same as her mother-in-law's!

No, I'm so angry!

"Why would Bernard do this? Just to encourage his students to do their research well?"

"Xing couldn't figure it out, but she decided to confront Bernard."

"When she found Bernard and asked about it."

Bernard's expression paled slightly, but he still managed to force himself to speak: "...I don't understand what you're saying. Young people don't learn, they just wander around aimlessly."

"The surveillance camera captured it, so you might as well admit it," Xing said, spreading his hands.

"..." Bernard sighed, "You really are...Okay, I admit, I broke the record. But I have to say that I broke the record for Rocky's own good!"

Emperor Xuan of Han, Liu Xun, had deep eyes.

It’s for your own good…that’s really a perfect reason!

All they have to do is say that this is all for your own good, and they will give you advice at will and stand on the moral high ground to force you to do things you don't want to do.

Over the years, people have been constantly advising that in order to win over General Huo Guang, it would be best to depose the current Queen Xu Pingjun and make Huo Guang's daughter Huo Chengjun the Queen. All of this is to stabilize the Han Dynasty and consolidate his throne.

But have these people ever thought that the only queen he wanted was Xu Pingjun?

"You're doing this for his own good, and you still think it's for his own good?" Xing thought Bernard was being too forceful.

"You have absolutely no understanding of this matter! Leslie...she..." Bernard's face was filled with sorrow, as if he couldn't find the words to express himself."

This made Xing feel something was wrong: "Leslie must have agreed, right?"

"Yes, she accepted Rocky's confession. But it's not that simple," Bernard sighed. "If Rocky, and the rest of us, are living in the 'present,' then comparatively speaking, Leslie... is already living in the 'future.'"

"Eh?" Xingda's eyes were filled with confusion, not understanding what this meant."

Bernard began to explain.

"Everything stems from the starquake Leslie experienced. Rocky told you earlier that Leslie experienced a starquake and was very happy to share it with him, right?"

"That silly boy Rocky was happy to share with Leslie, but he had no idea what Starquake actually meant."

"As long as proper protection is taken, starquakes won't actually harm anyone. However, the gravitational collapse caused by a starquake will cause a huge change in the curvature of spacetime in the star region!"

"For example, time in Leslie's star field was once a straight line, just like ours. But now, it has been compressed by gravity into a huge canyon."

"It's obvious that a curve is always longer than a straight line. Therefore, the time curve of her star region, when converted to our straight time line, will cover several times the length."

“Do you know what this means?”

"Xing answered confidently: "She became a fairy!"

"What's wrong with this kid Xing?" Emperor Wen of Sui, Yang Jian, was just shocked by the phenomenon explained by Bernard, but then he turned around and was left in tears and laughter by Xing's words.

He discovered that Xing had a special power... the power to make any serious occasion less serious.

"Oh, I finally understand why Bernard did this." Dugu Jialuo sighed. "According to this, wouldn't it be three, five, or even ten years after Leslie's death, and Rocky's? How can they be together then?"

"Xing's words almost made Bernard faint on the spot."

"No! This means that the speed of time on our sides is out of sync! Ever since the starquake, the time difference between Leslie and us has been gradually increasing. The time it takes her to send a reply will go from a month to a year, and then to ten years! It's all possible!"

"It's not just the news; it's all her activities! Every month she spends traversing the galaxy before she leaves this unusual gravity environment will cost us decades of waiting!"

"Can you imagine? When Leslie returns to the Black Tower Space Station, she will still be as young and beautiful as a 20-year-old, while Rocky... will probably be gray-haired and very old."

"..." Xing was silent.

"Even if she had taken on a human form and understood a little bit of human nature, she would understand how cruel this was."

Bernard sighed, "Space can be transcended, but time is untouchable!"

"Is there really no other way?" Xing asked.

“No!” declared Bernard.

"The two of them were silent for a while."

"Finally, Bernard produced two signal transfer recorders."

“I think that being with someone you ‘should’ be’ but ‘can’t’ be with someone you share the same feelings with is more cruel than being rejected.”

“So I destroyed the record and planned to blame the monster. This way, Rocky would always hope that the repeater would be repaired.”

"But now that you've lifted the veil, it's up to you to decide."

“This is the signal transfer record I copied from the repeater, red and blue.”

"The red one contains Leslie's true response, but it also contains the truth about the star tremor."

"The blue one is the record I forged—Leslie will reject Rocky. Don't think this is cruel. Rocky won't have to wait for her reply anymore. There will be other possibilities in his life."

"Which one should I give to Rocky? Think carefully about it."

"I see..." Liu Xun sighed, "What a cruel reality."

He originally thought that Bernard, like his ministers, acted recklessly under the banner of doing good for him.

But I didn't expect that this old man was actually thinking about Rocky.

only……

"In such a cruel reality, no matter what choice you make, it will only hurt others. Rocky, if you knew the truth, what would you do?"
